The audacity of
the chorus of Lady Marmalade made that Labelle had to change some
TV performances
due to broadcast standards. From “coucher” to “dancer”, the lyrics had to be changed, what means that instead of Lady Marmalade
invite to “sleep with” her She had to invite to “dance with”. Leaving the translations
issue, the matter of fact is that this song has received many cover versions
over the years. The British All Saints and later a collaboration of 5 famous American girls, for the Moulin Rouge! movie’s soundtrack, did it. Both
reached #1.
